Review of The Sweet Hereafter (1997) by Franzhcritic — 18 Jul 2014
Seldom do people see such power in subtlety. Yet Atom Egoyan takes tragedy seriously, with a moving depiction of how tragedy can effect people, any people. The acting is refreshingly human and not forced.
The cinematography's long shots convey a calmness that is quickly shattered, and along with the music, juxtaposes with the story of the film and the characters in a way that adds insight into the lives of the characters.
An afflicting drama heavily overshadowed.
